what I want to know is whatever happned to "Crowsley's variety" - used to be one of the few clones you could get - not seen it for decades.

Picture of it here from John Richard's Diary.

hmmm, that's not how I remember it - I thought it had small flowers that were more bell shaped and didn't open particularly flat. It also had a distinctive tight cushion. Hard to tell from the photo though.

Interesting to be reminded of that post of JR, where he speaks much sense about Farrer award rules.

One I used to have a few years ago and lost it. It was always available at the NAPS Shows but I've never found it at a nursery.

Mark - does lacewing have a pink/purple edge to the white flower?

Are the flowers on Rosemary that big?

Nice pictures

David - great pictures as normal

Mine still have not flowered yet - they need to get a move on
